Growing up, my Momma was and still is an excellent cook. I can remember her making this candy for our family. It is an old recipe, I believe that has been handed down from generation to generation. While it is very sweet, one bite and I am transformed back to my childhood to a time when life was all about the surprise. My Momma always had a surprise for us and this candy well...makes me smile.
- 1lb powdered sugar (3 3/4 cups)
- 1 stick butter (1/2 cup) melted and cooled
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbs heavy cream
- good quality peanut butter (about 1 1/2 cups) room temp
Mix sugar, butter, and vanilla. Add cream slowly (1 Tbs at a time) until a dough forms.
Knead on board covered with powdered sugar at least 5 minutes. It should be nice and smooth. Divide in half. Roll out between two sheets of plastic wrap.
Remove top sheet of plastic. Spread dough with Peanut Butter. Roll up jelly-roll style.
Cover with plastic wrap. Chill until firm.Use a sharp, clean knife to cut 1/4″ slices.
Keep this candy refrigerated . . . I keep it wrapped and just cut off a slice when I want a fix.You can also wrap it tightly and place it in the freezer.
